![]() The Pursuit (revised and completed)A Story by Jake Murphy![]() This was a story I wrote awhile back and I decided to clean it up and put it into one page instead of two. Hope you all enjoy. Comments would be awesome, good or bad.![]() A pair of oval shaped crystals containing the oceans beauty
catches my eye I try and look away but I can’t I'm trapped Her spell is worse than Medusa's She looks away; I'm free but curious now How could one person have that much control over me just by a
look into her eyes? Shall I approach...I shall but how? Play it cool, smooth, oh no she's looking over here again I can’t remember my name now, my ambitions vanished Who or what is this girl? Her majestic beauty is perplexing, her magnets strong. I'm drawn to her, so I approach. She notices and gets up and leaves the room. The possession is released and I'm free again or am I. I almost need her, need to know her, need to be near her. But atlas she is gone or not... I take after as fast as I can pursue without drawing unnecessary
attention She goes around the corner of this long hallway with doors on
either side I peer around the corner unaware of what awaits and it’s a door. I look around for anyone else and see no one so I knock Knock, knock, and knock. Nothing Knock, knock, and knock. Nothing I shrug my shoulders and turn around and head back to where I
came, where the party and other people were partaking in drinks and music. I turn around to find the host to pay my thanks for the invite
and there she was in the corner looking at me with a small grin on her face. Her dark hair cascading over one eye but even with half contact
she still had control I was stunned but gathered myself and decided to go to her. I took a step, she never moved I took another cautious step, still she never budged. She might be interested so I walk over and say "Hello Miss, my
name is..." Before I could mention my name someone to my left yelled
something, for the life of me I can’t remember. I only turned for a second at the fellow who had too much to
drink and when I turned back she was gone Vanished What just happened? Where did she go again? Was she even real? I will never know. Will I. © 2013 Jake Murphy |
